Olympus SP-510
Digital Camera Review
Oct 06, 2006
- By Richard Baguley
The UZ in the Olympus SP-510 UZ stands for Ultra zoom, and with a long 10x zoom lens, it seems appropriate. With a resolution of 7.1 megapixels, the Olympus SP-510 UZ (which is an update to the SP-500 UZ) sounds like a steal at $329.99. Armed with an impressive set of features including image stabilization, a decent movie mode, long battery life and an extremely high maximum ISO setting of 4000, it seems like SP-510 UZ could be a strong value.

Picture Quality/Size Options
A good selection of image size options are offered: 3072x2304, 2072x2048, 2560x1920, 2304x1728, 2048x1536, 1600x1200, 1280x960, 1024x768 and 640x480. The camera can also record RAW images at the maximum resolution, and can save a JPEG copy of a RAW file at the same time for convenience.
Picture Effects Mode
The SP-510 UZ does not offer any special picture effects for shooting, but it does allows you to process images after they have been taken to produce a black & white or sepia effect. But (as we say in pretty much every review) these are generally best avoided: you can get better results from using an image processing program on your PC or Mac.
